- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A (very) condensed history of Germany, written for non-specialists. As such, the author has not included any footnotes. Personally, I would have liked to have at least a few sources.But if you're looking for a quick, general introduction to German history through reunification, this will do very well.
